How many times do we look to our past sins and transgressions, thinking how bad we are.
“Oh, God could never forgive me for the horrible things I’ve done?
Yet the constant theme of scripture is redemption through the forgiveness of our sins. When we look to Christ and His finished work on the cross, and believe in His name, he blots out the guilty stain of our iniquities, casting them as far as the East is from the West, and remembers them no more.
We must do the same; forgive ourselves instead of hanging onto all of that baggage, and never bring it up again!
And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”
Jeremiah 31:34 ESV

“This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws on their hearts, and write them on their minds,” then he adds, “I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.” Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.
